    NPD! Griffin Analog Treble Booster

    This is being posted so late! These are the pics from the man himself..... Life has been crazy, so I have not gotten a chance to run it through its paces. Very hyped. Funnily enough, this is a pedal that was never even on my radar but I think it will work well for what I do sometimes. It's...

    NPUD! Planet Tone Blues Heritage set for my Les Paul

    Hello all, These beauties just arrived 😍 😍 They look great. The measurements are also custom fit for my Gibson LP. The neck measures 49.2 mm pole spacing and the bridge 50, should match up perfectly. Looking forward to wiring these up and seeing how they sound.

    Successfully aged nickel to replicate brass.

    Hello RT, I have a build I am hand aging parts for. In a previous thread, I included the bridge parts and such and will post an update when the entire guitar is finished. Onto this thread! I ordered a set of American Metal tele pickups made by Planet Tone for this build. Originally, I had...

    Welp, made the plunge. Some guitar tools

    Hey guys, I spoke with the shop owner, who I mentioned in a previous post, that said I could have their guitar electronic work/repair. He mentioned that he doesn't think he will be going the setups/repairs or running the shop much longer in general. Retiring basically. I went ahead and...

    Case or gig bag? Seems easy but.... Shipping a vintage guitar

    Hello RT, Thinking of listing some things for sale. One of the items is a 1969 all original Fender Mustang in Dakota red. Owned by a single person before making it into my hands. It's well loved but is a great guitar. That being said - I may be listing it for sale and need to ship it. Now, I...

    If only...1956 Gibson RI

    Hello all, Went into the local shop to BS with the owner, who I've known for quite a long time now. Got to looking around the shop and saw a cool gold top hanging up. Picked it up to play and immediately said "This has some magic" when I felt it. Really wildly great feeling guitar. The...

    Epiphone LP is nice - Upgrades/Guitar work

    Hello all, I have been working on several Epiphone LPs doing cap changes and pickup installs and such. The Mallory mustard caps strike again. These just sound terrible in the Epiphones but they seem to come stock in them. Mushy low end? Raspy/brittle highs and suppressed mids? Swap out...

    Another cap discussion - Vitamin T

    Hello, As some may know, I have been doing guitar electronic work/repair/upgrades quite a bit of late on my own instruments and others. I have found a recurring theme for me: I severely dislike the Mallory mustard caps that come in many Epiphones and also some others for sure. I have tried...

    Rivera Pubster 25 experience

    Hello RT, My buddy found a very clean Rivera Pubster 25 combo that he got for like $600 shipped to his door. He has played and heard my Rivera Clubster Royale and decided to check out the Pubster. First off, he got this used from a GC and it was actually packed very well for shipment. I...

    Soldering Iron station recommendations

    Hello RT, Talked with my local shop owner and they said they would give me all of their guitar wiring work if so desired. What a blessing! From thought to reality in a short amount of time. Like the shortest, as in, I am not quite ready with the tools I want. I went ahead with nice Kester...

    Understanding intricacies of True Bypass pedals

    Final Update: Discovered that one of my pedals, the G-2 clone, has a buffer in it. Hello RT, I recently was doing some experimenting with my pedals and was thrown off. I was doing some testing and realized that when the pre-amp section of my board will not fully pass signal through when...

    WHY, JAPETUS, WHY?!

    My beloved Gizmo is gone....GONE. Replaced by some symbiotic version of its former self. Sad day indeed. RIP Gizmo.

    Aging my own parts for a project

    Hello RT I have a Tele-bird style guitar project I am working on that I have call The Beachcaster or Driftwood. Talked about some design with my wife and she said it would be neat if all of the parts looked like they had been under the ocean for a long time. I agreed. This guitar will have a...

    Not a big deal whatsoever but still....

    Made a move after building my credit up and was able to refinance debt at a considerably lower rate. It was murderous. The current rate is not great by any means but compared to what it was, I should be able to actually get this debt paid off before a crazy length of time. Just got locked in...

    Guitar upgrades and surprising shim results

    Hello all, Did a bunch of wiring upgrades and stuff to my main, beloved partscaster - Zed. When I say "A bunch" I mean I swapped out all of the pots, and wiring, and swapped the cap, etc. The guitar sounded better after the change - more detailed and warm in areas - but the same general voice...

    Anyone else into this top?! Lacello Guitar

    Just saw this posted for $1950 shipped with a case. His pricing is insane. I am into this wild top and dig the body shape. If I had any extra cash, this thing would so be gone.... Here are a couple of my Lacello:

    Planet Tone H-Bomb set

    Hello RT, Installed a set of Planet Tone H-Bombs into a friends Gretsch and was pleasantly surprised. Why? I am not normally into pickups that have that certain TV Jones/Filter-Tron thing going on. I find them to have a weird frequency focus and to be thin. These pickups? Whoa. Vintage-y...

    NPD! Griffin Analog SDD

    Look what just arrived! Absolutely stunning pedal. The finish and knobs on this are perfect. Hard to convey through photos just how nice this looks, let alone the quality feel in the hands. Cannot wait to fire it up after work. Many, many thanks for Wayne for just being the absolute MAN...
